 Good afternoon all, 

I hope you are all well and enjoyed the Easter break - this week has flown by! There were some possessions left behind on the last day of term that have been outside this week, after today I will put any of the unclaimed items in lost property.

Swimming

The children have their swimming lessons each Wednesday. Please send your child in with either a swimming costume or shorts – no bikinis, please.  (If the children come in wearing their swimming things under their uniform, please pack spare underwear for when they get changed after their swimming lesson).

NEW PE Timetable 

Monday (30 mins) 1:15pm

Wednesday (swimming) 11am-12pm

Home Learning Project – Due WC 22rd May (Thursday latest)

PSHE, Science and D&T– Health Eating/Balanced Diets 

This half termly project is Healthy Eating.
The human body needs a balanced diet to work properly. Good health involves drinking enough water and eating the right amount of foods from the different food groups. 

Your task this half term is to design and create a well balanced meal(s) and/or snacks. Create a presentation of the dish(es) you create and justify why different elements are there. For example, you may want to design a breakfast, lunch and dinner which allows you to offer a balance between the food groups/nutrients. 

Please may I remind you that the children should still be logging onto TTRS/numbots for at least 3 x 20-minute sessions each week. I have the log in details if these need to be provided again, please let me know.

Strike Thursday 27th March-  You might have seen in the news that some teachers who are members of the NEU will be taking strike action on Thursday. I will be striking that day and you will need to make other arrangements for your child on that day. Do not send your child to school. 

Children in Years 3 who are on free school meals will be able to have a packed lunch on this day which will need to be collected at lunchtime. The school office will be contacting all eligible families at the beginning of next week to see if they want to take up this offer.

Thank you for your support.
